     | 4,989 views

    Too often in life, we are looking to so many things to be constant in our lives and support us. Money, family, friends, jobs, etc. The fact is, all of those things will fail us, only God remains.

    Tonight, I wanted to start off our time together by talking about being let down. This is something that has really been on my mind the last week as I have been experiencing a big let down personally. A few months ago, I thought everything was all taken care of and it would be a breeze the rest of ...read more

     | 2,248 views

    As we approach the Holiday Season, the “Season of Regifting!” Regifting is: “the act of receiving a gift and giving it to another friend or family as if you had actually purchased it for them." Regifting forgiveness is a Biblical concept!

    REGIFTING FORGIVENESS Eph 4:32 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE BASS BOAT 1. Boudreaux won a bass boat in a raffle drawing. He brought it home & his wife looked at him & said, “What you gonna do wit dat? There ain’t no water deep enough to float a boat within 75 mile of here”. 2. He says, ...read more

    Is This All There Is To Life?

     | 1,750 views

    Abraham discovered that real LIFE is about walking with God! Getting to know God! And in the text Paul tells us that God still wants people to walk with Him by faith.

    March 7, 1993 Romans 4:1 "What shall we say that Abraham ... has found?" The question of our text, "What has Abraham discovered?" comes between two Bible stories in our lesson for today; one from the Old Testament, one from the New. Both of these stories touch on the profound ...read more

    One Baptism

    Contributed by Chris Willis on Oct 30, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,655 views

    This sermon considers Paul’s statement that there is ONE baptism. It focuses on the concept of spiritual union, with Christ and with Christians. That this is a spiritual reality in the baptism of the Spirit, and a physical proclamation of a spiritual real

    One Baptism Ephesians 4:5 READ Ephesians 4:5 . . . “There is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism.” Sometimes as pastors we can be susceptible to rare gaffes. So its no surprise that the story is told about the baptism of a King by St. Patrick in the middle of the fifth century. Sometime during ...read more

    Sin is real. So is salvation. But we can’t really understand the joy of salvation until we understand the depths of sin from which we have been saved.

    If You Want Joy

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 13, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,765 views

    Genuine joy comes after we do what Christ bids us do, and is grounded in our relationship to Him. In fact, the real issue is not our joy but His.

    If you want joy! What a ridiculous premise! Of course you want joy. Of course we want to be happy. Of course all of us want to feel deep satisfaction with life. We want joy. That's just self-evident. The trouble is, we don't know how to get that joy. We don't understand where joy comes from, how ...read more

    Taking Care Of The Tongue Series

    based on 77 ratings
     | 7,732 views

    The words that come out of our mouth only reveal what lies in the heart. The only real way to take care of a tongue problem is to allow God to change our heart.

    Maybe you’ve heard the saying “What you do speaks so loudly that I can’t hear what you say.” In James 2:18, the passage we looked at last week, the brother of Jesus writes, “But someone will say, ‘You have faith; I have deeds.’ Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by ...read more

    Every year the world shuts down on the 25th of December, but why? If it is just about gifts and family would this happen? This 3 part series looks into the real meaning of Christmas.
